Let’s blast off with Gareth Peter and join him for an out-of-this-world reading of one of his debut picture books, Forever Star. Let's go on an intergalactic journey into outer space through stories, family and fun. Free with entry ticket.
About the book
Forever Star.
A beautiful, heartfelt adventure, perfect for celebrating all kinds of family and the love that brings them together.
This is the dark and starless sky, where just past the moon a planet drifts by.
And this is the planet that’s full to the brim, with friendly and caring space people called . . . TIM!
Meet Tim and Tim – a couple who long for a family and set off on a quest to find their very own star child. This joyful, read-aloud adventure is a comforting, soothing read that’s ideal just before bedtime. It’s also a helpful jumping off point for early conversations about the experiences of LGBTQ+ families for the youngest readers.
